Personality:
Canada is everything opposite of his brother, America. He’s quiet and reserved, and often forgotten about. Rarely do the others even remember who he is. On top of that, to add insult to injury, he’s often mistaken for his loud, boisterous brother and because of this, is blamed for many of the things Alfred has done. Sometimes it even goes as far as to others punching Matthew, mistaking him for Alfred. He takes everything in stride, however, and continues to try and clue them in on their mistake. Most of the time the young man is calm and soft-spoken, rarely raising his voice and yelling, unless otherwise provoked. Half the time he’s used as a chair by Russia as the running joke is that he’s virtually invisible to the others. It seems that France is one of the very few who actually knows who he is and remembers him.

Aside from being shy and reserved, he can also be very passive-aggressive when pushed. This is best evidenced when he got into an argument with Alfred and Matthew made the other cry while spending a good three hours pointing out all of his flaws. Drawing further on this side of him, Matthew has a bit of a temper and this temper of his shows when he’s at his breaking point (as evidenced with his yelling at Alfred). He also doesn’t do well under pressure and, sometimes, has been known to lose to his calm and explode (again, as mentioned previously). In conjunction with being overlooked, he isn’t one who speaks up very much at all which causes him not to be heard when discussing important topics. Everyone will be yelling around him and he’ll still be quietly waiting his turn in a polite manner, waiting until he is called upon to talk. Unfortunately, he almost never gets to voice his opinion because of everyone else.

Still, he’s generally a nice enough person to be around once someone realises that he’s not America and that he’s, well, actually around. He’s friendly to pretty much everyone, no matter who they are and he likes to share his maple syrup. He’s also quite laid-back and a bit slow compared to someone like America. Once he spent an entire weekend doing nothing but staring into the eyelashes of his bear, Kumajirou, and America commented that it was probably a good weekend for someone like him.

As well as his passive-aggressiveness, he also tends to be a bit cynical and sarcastic. Most of the time this is reserved for Alfred, but it anyone who gets on his nerves is offered the very same treatment. Matthew is also not one who enjoys violence, either. If possible, he always tries to find non-violent, diplomatic, solutions for conflicts if at all possible. However if one must fight, then he will, with reservations. Overall he’s a good person who tries to do what’s best. Despite this, his lack of confidence is something that tends to hold him back a bit as he doesn’t apply himself as much as he could.


Extra:
Character Abilities: Does being the personification of a country count as an ability? Given this, it’s generally assumed that he technically cannot die. As well, he can take a lot more damage than the usual, normal person. Plus, he has considerably more strength than a normal person would and then there’s the self-healing bit. Given time, he can recover from virtually all wounds and injuries. Minor things like cuts take a shorter time than major trauma, however.
Possessions: The clothes on his back, a sidearm, whatever else is in his pockets. A shoulder bag with maps and various papers.
Anything else: Not that I can think of at the moment.

Log/Prose sample:
(log/prose sample) - The start of the log was a little over a month ago, however it’s still an active log so I hope that this is okay. If not, please let me know. As well, it’s linked to a different account for the character, but this is another RP account I maintain for the same character. If needed, I can prove that it’s mine any way you choose.
